This past weekend, Michael and I premiered our 9th film and I performed live for the first time in five years. It required: 1 - Hiring a babysitter for more hours than we could comfortably afford. 2 - Pumping after the kids went to bed and brainstorming ways to get my child to drink milk not directly from me. 3 - Commuting between rehearsals, screenings, performances, and home to nurse, hand off the kids, and spend quality time with them. 4 - Handling a sick child who couldn’t attend school and soothing a baby awake for two hours at night due to my accidental throat-clearing. On Sunday, we did not rest. It’s not an option with two small kids. The weekend was hectic but rewarding, and I am grateful for the experience, but Monday brought some much-needed relief. I don't share this to gain sympathy or compete in the exhaustion Olympics–  "Oh yeah, you only got 4 hours of sleep? Well, I only got -0.37!" And yes, having children and pursuing my career are my choices. But when I hear stereotypes like "Millennials are lazy and just don’t want to work," I question what the standard definition of "work" really is. Is it measured by a LinkedIn profile, frequent title changes, or hours logged in an office? Or by the income and possessions, it allows one to accumulate? If that's the case, then maybe I am lazy. Maybe I don’t want to “work”. Why would I? Curious: How do you define or redefine work 👇🏽?

🎵mero gam katha pare ja dhudh ki nadiya wahe ja🎵 At IRMA, our induction is unlike any other. It begins with a screening of the iconic film, Manthan. This old tradition unites generations of IRMAns even till batch 44 (and beyond), fostering a shared understanding of our mission in rural India. Manthan, inspired by the real-life milk cooperative movement led by Verghese Kurien, is a powerful portrayal of collective action and its transformative potential. The post-screening debrief is where the magic happens. We delve deeper, dissecting the movie's enduring relevance. One scene that sparked debate: Dr. Rao's (representing Dr. Kurien) decision to leave the village after facing challenges. It left us confused. Dr. Shylendra's explanation, however, provided a profound lesson: sometimes, change is a seed you sow, not a fruit you reap. Bhola, the villager inspired by Dr. Rao, carries the torch forward, with Bindu by his side. Their success becomes a testament to Dr. Rao's groundwork. It's a powerful reminder that lasting impact often lies in empowering communities, not imposing solutions. Manthan is more than a movie; it's a cornerstone of the IRMA spirit. It teaches us humility, the importance of understanding rural realities, and the power of collective action. It's a lesson I'll carry with me throughout my IRMA journey and beyond. #IRMA #Manthan #RuralDevelopment #CollectiveAction #Legacy #RuralManagement
